Play stopped, Fiorentina fans throwing flares on the field.
Whats happening at Plzen, why are there so many flares in pitch , I only have picture not sound.
Fenerbahce had a chance to pull one back, but a header by Szymański went wide by inches.
Penalty for Fenerbahce.
EDIT: Easy taken. 3-1.

Yep, Fenerbahce woke up finally. 3-2 after a shot from close distance.
If you would have said to an olympiakos fan if he would take a 1 goal win before the match he would take it no questions asked.
But now i bet they would be disapointed.

Plzen - Fiorentina 0:0, a bit sleepy game without significant chances, both teams looked like satisfied with the result, but the Viola are in the driver's seat now.

Let's go to Birmingham for the Aston Villa - Lille match. Probably the top 2 teams left in the Conference League.
A triumph for Olympiacos turned into just a slight advantage thanks to the cancerous effect (once again) of CB Retsos.
He is the one who gave a penalty to Maccabi Tel Aviv, he is the one who got owned by Zahavi in the 1st leg, he has done countless serious errors this year, and with another today he allowed Fenerbahce to return to the tie from 3-0 down.
Until then Olympiacos with excellent high pressing took advantage of the poor level of Caglar Soyuncu and the Fenerbahce defense in general and had scored 3 goals.
Thanks to a silly penalty Retsos gave, Fenerbahce came back and pushed in the last 20 minutes (Olympiacos has no depth since they changed half the team in January and couldn't put everyone in the European list) scoring another goal and threatening for a 3rd.
Olympiacos will advance if they play they way they did in the 2nd leg, which Retsos will thankfully miss thanks to yellow cards - but his replacement is just as bad.
Very good refereeing from Swiss Sandro Scharer.

Watkins heads in from a corner, 1:0 Villa!
So, the Czechs took Scotland's auto CL place.

Aston Villa - Lille 1:0, Lille are the better side, but behind, because of one man, Martinez, they'd 4 shots against 2 on target, but the Argentine saved everything.

1-0 HT, but Lille are the better team. They've created a few good chances, Villa are fortunate they couldn't take any.
